We offer free legal and technology tools that
allow creators to publish their works on more
flexible terms than standard copyright.
Terms that allow public sharing, reuse, and
remix.

• Law designed to govern creative and
expressive works

15. CC Licenses Build upon
Traditional Copyright
! CC works within the existing system by
allowing movement from “All Rights
Reserved” to “Some Rights Reserved”
! CC improves copyright by giving creators
a choice about which freedoms to grant and
which rights to keep
! CC minimizes transaction costs by granting
the public certain permissions beforehand

16. Basic License Building Blocks
CC licenses are comprised of combinations of 4
basic conditions:
Attribution
Non-Commercial
No Derivatives
Share Alike

18. Attribution (BY)
• Allows others to copy, distribute, display, and
perform the copyrighted work — and
derivative works based upon it — but only if
they give credit in the manner specified.
• All CC licenses require attribution
• Some people require www linkbacks as part
of the attribution clause.

20. Non-Commercial (NC)
• Lets others copy, distribute, display, and
perform the work for noncommercial
purposes only.
• The author retains the commercial rights.
• Users may still request to use the work
commercially, which may cost money.

22. No Derivatives (ND)
• Allows others to copy, distribute, display, and
perform only verbatim copies of the work, not
derivative works based upon it.
• For the purposes of CC licenses, syncing
music in timed-relation with a moving image
is a derivative work.

24. Share Alike (SA)
• Allows others to distribute derivative works
only under a license that is the same as, or
compatible with, the license that governs the
work.
• This is the only license term that mandates
the new work be placed into the commons.

27. CC licenses are expressed in three
different ways:
human-readable lawyer-readable legal machine-readable
commons deed code metadata
<a rel="license" href="http://
creativecommons.org/licenses/by/
3.0/us/"><img alt="Creative Commons
